Wedding Party
Josie Hanner
Maid of Honor
Josie is Jackie's amazing 10-year-old daughter and the undeniable star of the show (just ask her!). She’s a master of cartwheels, a born choreographer, and has a sense of humor that keeps us all in stitches. Whether she’s dreaming up a new dance routine or cracking us up with her one-liners, Josie brings creativity, joy, and so much heart to our lives. Having her as my Maid of Honor is something that feels sacred and meaningful to me!
Virginia Bicknese
Bridesmaid
Virginia is Tyler's bold, bright, and endlessly energetic 8-year-old—my wonderful stepdaughter and a bridesmaid who brings her own special sparkle to the day. She’s a creative soul who’s always drawing, coloring, or dreaming up her next big idea. When she’s not making art, you’ll probably find her climbing anything in sight or bouncing high on the trampoline. Virginia is strong-willed, full of heart, and always unapologetically herself—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Oliver Bicknese
Best Man
Oliver is Tyler's 11-year-old son. He’s a thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply caring kid who brings quiet wisdom and a big heart to everything he does. A true Star Wars expert and Lego mastermind, Oliver sees the world with curiosity and depth well beyond his years. His sensitivity, kindness, and steady presence are just a few of the many reasons we’re so proud to have him standing beside us on this special day.
Angie Gilroy
Sister Squad
My big sister and steady support through this whole process. Angie has helped me stay organized, remember important details, and brought thoughtful ideas that have shaped the celebration. She also threw a fun bridal shower and managed to do it all while keeping me on task (nicely) and laughing when I needed it most. Basically, part event planner, part life coach, part hype squad—and all heart. We can also thank her for the hashtag - #bugsprayandbouquets
Karen Gutierrez
Sister Squad
My identical twin and the one who just gets me. Karen has been the creative force behind so much of this celebration—turning ideas into actual, beautiful things with her eye for design and crafty magic. She knows my style better than I do sometimes, and she’s taken the lead on decorating with so much care and intention. Beyond all that, she’s reminded me to ask for help when I need it, and has been a steady, loving voice reminding me how deeply we’re supported.
Sarah Ludlow
Officiant
Sarah is a cherished friend to both of us, though I technically met her first—during a global pandemic, no less—after a mediumship reading that led to many deep conversations and laughs. Since then, she’s become someone we trust for her insight, humor, and no-nonsense spiritual wisdom. She’s helped us navigate life with more clarity and confidence, so asking her to officiate felt like the most natural decision. She keeps things real, and brings just the right balance of heart and humor to the big day.
Pat Gilroy
Unofficial Wedding Coordinator Extraordinaire
What can I say? Without Pat's event planning expertise this whole thing would be a mess. Thanks for keeping us on our toes and thinking of all the things our poor executive function would forget!
